Summary
900 years. 900,000 miles in the last 62 of them.
Either way, for Nicolò di Genova, it's all a blur.
But there's something about his next destination, Rock City, that gives him a glimmer of hope for something different.
He just isn't anticipating "something different" to come in the form of an easygoing hitchhiker who's all too eager to hop into his car.

Summary
Paul felt stupid waiting around like this. Part of him wondered if it had even been worth it to be early to begin with. It’d serve Darry right to make him wait around for him for once. It’d be payback for the last four months. But he was a stickler for punctuality if nothing else, and he felt like he had some kind of high ground being there first. Not like he needed it anyway, he wasn’t in the wrong here.

Summary
Going back to the money, Ponyboy began to notice something about the way the it was all placed. Some of the bills were neatly folded and stacked while others were crumpled into balls, as though they’d been angrily thrown in at the end of a rough day.
Or a rough argument.
And all too suddenly, it clicked with him. All the vague threats Darry made in the haze of their fights, all of the spat out declarations of moving on and leaving Soda and Ponyboy to fend for themselves, all the extra shifts and longer nights Darry seemed to add without thinking they’d notice…
It wasn’t simple angry threatening. It was a warning. He had a plan.
~
In which Darry hides money from his brothers, and Ponyboy believes he's preparing to cut out for good.

Summary
He felt shock catch his brain before he could fully register the sight in front of him. Ponyboy was sat on his bed, a textbook on his lap as he held a small, white slip of rolling paper in his hand full of a substance that Darry immediately clocked.
His little brother was trying to roll a damn joint.
